About AIMCA UK Qarz e Hasna Project :::
What is Qarz e Hasna Project?
It is an initiative for those hardworking and ambitious young Iqbalians who dream big but face temporary financial restraints in achieving their goals. A doctor planning to pursue career in the UK has to pass language test i.e IELTS or OET, and then PLAB test. Recently, the fees of these exams have been increased. Fee for PLAB 2 exam has actually been doubled and currently it is 875£. Besides these expenses the doctor has to pay for the PLAB 2 preparation course and the cost of travelling and accomodation in the UK.
This project provides a helping hand to young Iqbalians and shares their financial burden by providing interest free loan. This is a need based loan of upto 1000£..
Our sources are limited but our aims are very high. So far, One doctor has been issued this loan and another application is currently in process. First doctor has already passed the exams and is currently applying for GMC registration.
Our donors have always been very generous and we are very grateful for their contributions. Our commitment is to help as many Iqbalians as we can. We can only do it with the participation of all Iqbalians, especially young Iqbalians.

How is the loan paid back?
We expect you to pay back the loan to AIMCAUK within 6 months of starting your first job in the UK. We are flexible with this depending upon your situation. You can return this as a one off payment or can break it into installments over few months. You will have to provide us the ‘’Return of Loan’’ plan in the light of above. While giving us the plan please also consider, if unfortunately, you do not pass the exams or get a job in the UK then how would the loan be returned.
We will make sure that the returned money is used for next deserving Iqbalian who needs it. It will serve as Sadqa e Jaria. This way AIMCAUK can continue this project for years to come.
